Subject: pppd won't add default route (?)

I'm trying to get ppp up and running on my IIsi.  The modem
negotiates successfully and connects, but none of my applications
(telnet, ftp) recognize the connection.  Now when pppd connects I get
a message at the console:

pppd[763]: Couldn't add default route: File exists

What does this mean, and what is this "File" (that needs a good
spanking)?  I'm assuming this has to do with the "defaultroute" option
I have included in /etc/ppp/options.

p.s. I'm basing my connection scripts on Bill Studenmund's ppp package
